All good advice from others digital.poet.
I can remember my time doing circuits and having it all get screwed up. As deano says. Hang loose on the yoke and trim the aircraft. Feel what is going on and take action. The trimmer is your friend
That way keeping the correct height will cease to be an issue.
It took me ages to get it all together. But once it did it became second nature and I could then spend more time looking out for other aircraft (essential) in the circuit and enjoying myself. At first things seem to be piling up and you find yourself getting stressed and rushing things. In reality you have plenty of time to go through the checks.
